re: This is Jackson's last chance to turn things around

Jackson has proximity to the Nissan plant and the new Continental plant. That’s 11k high paying jobs. It’s an advantage that they have not taken care of.

Cities are going to have crime. The problem is the judges giving light sentences on violent crime and five years for murder.

Then you have infrastructure issues. Schools don’t have running water and have sewage running in the hallways because of the neglect.

Then there is the distrust of white businesses and state government officials. This is what has caused a lot of problems. The other poster mentioned it, but there are some good businesses with good jobs that have wanted to take advantage of the low taxes and low real estate rate that have either been declined or outright ignored.
